"MY GROWN-UP & ME"
FARM & FOREST SATURDAYS
We are so excited for you and your littles to join us in the Gardens and the Forest for our weekly Farm & Forest School Saturdays session! This is the perfect way to discover the fun that we have at Rewilding Education and to spend some beautiful time together connecting and playing in nature.
​

​
Cost: Pay what you can ($10 Donations are welcome to go towards our Program Fees Subsidy Fund)
​
Sample Day:
​
10:00 - 10:25: Arrival time, Free Play
10:25 - 10:40: Good Morning Circle Time; Short themed activity/story
10:40 - 11:00: Tour of the Gardens/ Picking weeds to feed the chickens & feeding the chickens and goats (A favourite activity!)
11:00 - 11:15: Snack & Story time in the forest on our story log
11:15- 11:25: Forest Walk, if you wish
11:25 - 12:00: Mud Kitchen/ Forest Play/ Free time to go back to your favourite part (Forest, Playground, Chickens etc)
​
Our time together will be fluid and we'll follow the children's lead in whatever is inspiring their play. If you want to stay longer with the chickens, go for it! Enjoy your time together. This time is for you and your little wildling. Please do not enter the barn- it is a working farm and the barn has tools in it. Please respect the gardens and watch yours and your littles steps. Even an area that doesn't "look" like anything is growing could be hiding something yummy and we don't want to squish it with our feet!
We have porta-potties on site for washrooms, unfortunately we do not have an indoor space for diapering (yet). Please plan accordingly.
​
Where & When:
8463 5th Line, Angus, ON. Located on the land of the beautiful Moondance Organic Gardens. We will meet at 10AM near the barn. You can park all the way down the driveway to the left, in front of the big grey garage. Look for me (Becky) with my brown floppy hat!
